Evolt 360 Body Scanning
The Evolt 360 Body Composition Analyzer, what we call the Intelligent Body Scanner, is a simple-to-use 60-second scan that provides detailed data about a body through more than 40 measurements. It works simply by passing a safe electrical current through the feet and hands. The resistance to flow of the current determines the difference between muscle mass, fat mass, water and mineral — a measurement far beyond the one-size-fits-all generic BMI. All readings are specific to the individual, allowing trainers to better design a health and wellness program. To schedule a scan, contact Ashley Champlain at 815-234-6236 or champlain@byronparks.org.
Members receive 4 FREE scans per year!
Open Scan Days
Members only! No appointment needed–just stop in and scan. Before scanning, please have your Evolt app set up. Email Ashley with any questions.
